P&F News

Dear families, the Parents and Friends are doing a call out for second hand uniform donations. Please drop them to the front office during the first week of Term 1 as we will be holding another second-hand uniform sale at our 2022 acquaintance evening. Thank you.

Uniform reminder

We have noticed students wearing a few items that really aren't part of our school uniform: 1. Leggings are ok to wear under dresses, but not on their own, as part of our school uniform. Students can wear navy track pants or any other plain navy pants.

2. Coloured hair accessories are not part of the uniform - school colours only please.

3. Boots and lightweight sandals are really not suitable for school wear. Sneakers are the best choice for school, since classes participate in physical activity every day.

We understand it is a busy time of year and it's not always easy to find alternatives, so organising these changes for the beginning of next year is fine. Thank you!

COVID restrictions

Here are the current recommendations from the Department for Education re COVID restrictions:

Parents, volunteers and visitors are welcome in schools and preschools providing COVID safe measures are in place and followed.
All parents and visitors are required to COVID-Safe check in when entering buildings and practise physical distancing from other adults.
It’s recommended that parents and other visiting adults wear masks when entering school or preschool buildings. This includes volunteers.
Masks are not required outdoors if adults can physical distance. This is consistent with community mask use requirements.

What does this mean for us?

Pick up and drop off

In the morning please continue to drop children off at one of the entrances to the school grounds, and allow them to make their own way to their classrooms. If you need to speak to your child’s teacher, please make contact through the SeeSaw app.
You are welcome to come to the front office at this time for school business (with the COVID restrictions outlined above), but please do not visit teachers or students in their classrooms so they can get ready for the school day ahead.
As long as you socially distance from others as outlined above, you are welcome to come back into the school grounds to meet your children at the end of the day, and children are now once again allowed to play after school until you come to collect them.

Assemblies

We are now able to invite all parents to attend our assemblies. Please wear masks, physically distance from others and QR code as above.

As always, students and staff must stay home if they are unwell. Please err on the side of caution.

Students are being asked to fill up their drink bottles from taps in preference to drinking directly from the taps, so please make sure they have a labelled bottle every day.
